Does this shit never stop.

I advertised a 690 on Gumtree and as usual I get one of these.

Hello i'm Hanna From Norway, i'm glad to know you still have it for sale, I'm interested in buying it and i would like to get it as soon as i can but firstly I would like to know how long you have had it? and I won't be able to view it, but can you guarantee me it is in a good condition? please also can you confirm the final asking price?
I hope to read from you soon.
Thanks 


To which I replied (already knowing the scam.

"Bike Is immaculate. I’ve had it one year. Previously belonged to my neighbor who didn’t ride it much (3000km in two years)
I’ve ordered the new model which will be in South Africa in a couple of weeks."

Hello,
Thanks for the detailed message,
I agree with the price and i'm satisfied with the

condition too. I am buying it internationally to Norway,

and i would pay you with PayPal as it is fast & easy for

me to pay with right now, don't worry about paypal

charges, i will take care of that and also the

transportation cost, i shall arrange for a transport

agent to come to your home for the pickup .

If we have a deal, you should send me your info

requested below if you have an account already with

paypal:-

Name :
PayPal Email :
Mobile Number:
Total Price :

so that i can proceed with the transfer i will also add the 3.9% to the payment for the Paypal charges and then we can arrange for my transport agent to come for the pick up, after you receive your money. I will also need your home address too for the pick up to be arranged. i expect your reply soon.
Cheers

It must work or has worked in the past. Just irritates the shit out of me.
